I still need the Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Clemente, and Brock, so I still have some strong cards to pick up, but I have pretty much all of the other stars.

My favorite cards are Don Drysdale and Bob Gibson. Both are just classic cards. Oh, and Willie McCovey too! Gorgeous!
Brock, McCovey, and Mays were also in the last 10 cards I needed. The Brock is a very popular card and I'll be honest, I could simply not win an auction on that card. I ended up overpaying on a BIN which I am sure we all do as we get to the last few. It's funny how the Gibson and McCovey are the same photos from 61, but look much better in 63 format...
